The king's fierce concubine: women don't be arrogant

"How about this." Dong Lingjue glanced at her and Xi Feng, and said, "You guys take the money, and let's eat together, how about it?"

"Really?" Mu Lan's eyes lit up, fearing that he would regret it, she took the money and held it in her hand, and said, "Then I can't take your money for nothing, I'll add two more dishes. "

As he said that, Chong Xifeng waved his hand and said, "Son, come on, help daddy. Guest officer, you can eat first."

"Oh." Xi Feng played the straightforward and honest son to the fullest, and obediently followed Mu Lan into the kitchen.

Mu Lan intentionally made the noise of washing and chopping vegetables louder to cover up, and asked Xifeng in a low voice, "Tell me, did he find us?"

While helping to wash the vegetables, Xifeng said in a low voice: "Judging from the state of the people and horses when he came before, it is estimated that he has not stopped since he set off from Wujiang. He is a person with a strong purpose. Will not go back for a meal."

Mu Lan is actually the one who understands this point the most and has the deepest experience, "But, I don't think we have any flaws."

Xi Feng glanced in the direction of the outside through the wall, and said: "Maybe it's not that we showed our flaws, but that he is too familiar with you. Sometimes, a look or a movement may make him suspicious. He may I didn’t pay attention to it, but when I think about it later, I will guess some clues, so I may not necessarily come back to verify it.”

The possibility he analyzed was extremely high, Mu Lan thought about it, and couldn't help laughing: "If that's the case, then let him guess more." After finishing speaking, she stopped talking and concentrated on cooking.

When he came out of the hall with the prepared dishes, he saw Dong Lingjue frowning and tasting the few dishes on the table. Mu Lan raised her lips and smiled, and brought the two dishes in front of him, saying: " Seeing that this guest officer is well dressed, I am afraid that you are not used to the simple food of our mountain people?"

Both dishes are vegetarian dishes, which look green and fresh, making people quite appetizing.Dongling Jue tasted a chopstick each, but the expression on his face was a bit secretive.

"Could it be that these dishes don't suit your taste?" Looking at his expression, Mu Lan couldn't help but wonder if it was because she hadn't cooked for a long time and her skills were useless, or did she put too much salt in her shaking hands?

Dong Lingjue put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and said, "It's very appetizing, especially these two dishes, shopkeeper, where do you come from as a chef?"

His previous expression was so heavy that he didn't look like he had eaten delicious dishes, but rather like he was eating deadly arsenic, but now he looked like he was sincerely asking for advice. This person's emotions were really hard to guess.

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, we mountain people have no culinary skills, it's just what we've been used to for decades." Mu Lan spoke, and pulled Xi Feng to sit down unceremoniously.

"That's right." Dong Lingjue didn't seem to care, and said, "How can you drink wine for such a delicious dish? Shopkeeper, what wine do you have in this teahouse, and let me taste it?"

Occasionally, when he is in the mood, he will drink a few cups.Mu Lan didn't doubt that there was him, so she said to Xi Feng, "Go, pour a pot of wine from our backyard."

"Okay." Xi Feng responded with a good temper. Who told him to play the role of the son and the waiter of the shop, so he obediently went to drink.

"What's the name of the shopkeeper?" Dong Lingjue asked casually as there were only two of them left on the table.

"My surname is Chai, and the guest officer can call me Lao Chai." Fortunately, he had signed a contract with the original boss, so although Dong Lingjue asked the question abruptly, Mu Lan didn't bother to answer it.

"Old Chai? What a coincidence." Dong Lingjue looked straight into her eyes, and said with a smile, "When I hiked this mountain more than two months ago, I also rested here. Today it looks different. The signboard, I thought the teahouse had changed hands, but I didn’t expect that the shopkeeper’s surname is still Chai, and there is such a waiter’s son. However, that old Chai’s son is much worse than your son.”

So, is the problem here?Dong Lingjue had a rest in this teahouse last time?However, Mu Lan was not flustered. She changed her mind and said, "The guest officer must be my elder brother. He is old and in poor health. He took his son back to the countryside. We are cousins. I That’s why I’ve rejected his deal, and I’m just eating my own food.”

Dong Lingjue listened, but did not move his eyes away from her face, looked at her for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud, and said: "I only thought that I could tell nonsense, but I didn't expect that the shopkeeper was even worse than me. In fact, I have never been to your teahouse, I just made a joke casually, but you can still say it seriously, could it be that there is such a coincidence in this world?"

Mu Lan's heart trembled slightly, this man is really more cunning and smarter than a fox, true and false, false and true, trying to deceive her?However, it was not so easy to expose her, so he immediately replied: "Guest officer is really good at making fun, but anyone who often walks this way knows that our place was originally called Duanling Tea Lao, and it was opened by my elder brother and my nephew." Reasonable. You have never been here before, but you can still speak so vividly, you are really a god." [

Seeing that she was not flustered and showed no signs of timidity, Dong Lingjue was not in a hurry, and said: "From what the shopkeeper said, she doesn't look like an illiterate countryman at all, and the ink on the signboard at the door is still new, so it must have come from the shopkeeper. Hands? Yiqing, it sounds quite in line with the artistic conception here."

This person's observation skills are still so sharp, it seems that no detail can escape his eyes.Mu Lan smiled, and said: "Guest officer, I'm overwhelmed. In our line of business, I have contact with all kinds of people. If I see a lot, I can naturally learn a few words. It makes you laugh."

/>

The two of you come and go, coping well.It is clear that each other's hearts are as open as a mirror, but on the surface, they are both serious and airtight.This feeling of meeting an opponent made Dong Lingjue excited. Although she had to admire that her disguise almost escaped his eyes, she didn't know that there were some things that could not be concealed no matter how much she pretended.

Mu Lan also met his gaze calmly, the confidence and composure in her eyes clearly told him, so what if he saw it?She is not afraid either.

Just when the eyes of the two met, Xi Feng finally came back with a jar of wine, pretending not to notice the weird atmosphere, put the wine jar in front of Dong Lingjue, and said: "Guest officer , the wine you want."

Dong Lingjue got up spontaneously, took a few bowls, poured out three bowls of wine, and said: "Shopkeeper, it's rare to have such a good chat with you, I would like to toast you." As he spoke, he brought two of the bowls to him involuntarily. They left Mu Lan and Xi Feng.

Smelling the strong smell of liquor, Mu Lan frowned first, and hurriedly said, "I'm old and I can't handle alcohol, so you young people should drink it." Personnel unconscious.

However, Dong Lingjue put the bowl in front of her without hesitation, and said: "Shopkeeper, I think you are still at your age, a man, when it comes to drinking, why do you act like a woman?"

What is he doing?Want to get her drunk?Mu Lan was about to think of an excuse again, when Xi Feng beside him said, "My father is in poor health and can't drink alcohol. If the guest officer really wants to drink, I'll accompany you to have a drink."
